There is so much to do and see in Melbourne that it's hard to know where to begin! Take the hassle out of sight-seeing with the new ABC Melbourne Podtours, a range of free audio guides revealing the sights, sounds and smells of Melbourne town.
The new audio guides, which can be easily downloaded to an MP3 player, direct listeners to some of Melbourne's best attractions and reveal the stories behind Melbourne's hidden lanes and historical buildings.
774 ABC Melbourne presenter Derek Guille takes listeners on an exploration of Melbourne's culinary hotspots with his podcast Eat, Drink Melbourne, which includes commentary by celebrity chef Stephanie Alexander.
Beneath Melbourne's stylish surface lie tales of grime and crime….and 774 ABC Melbourne presenter Jon Faine will explain all the gory details on his podast Death, Dirt & Disease – definitely not for the faint hearted.

The tours can be downloaded for use in three easy steps:
